WebView allows setting [WebPreferences setTabsToLinks:] to allow the tab key to navigate between links in the web page. WKWebView does not expose this preference, which is an accessibility bug to us. To the end user interacting with the embedded browser, they are not aware they need to press options + tab to be able to access the link through keyboard. They expect the tab key which navigate between other cocoa controls in the window to navigate to the DOM elements that accept keyboard focus. Safari allows setTabsToLinks as a configurable setting, but the WKWebView control provided does not share this setting with Safari and no way to configure it through our code creating a WKWebView instance.
